I’ve hosted the webm and a transcoded mp4 on my servers as well.

Because it’s self-hosted. If you don’t want to host it, element.io’s instance is probably more trustworthy than Discord.

I think it may be a good idea to move this off of Discord by hosting Jitsi or something similar, because I definitely do not want to use Discord if I can avoid it.

It feels like we’re living in an alternate reality where The Onion is a serious, non-satirical news source

How do people live with unread notifications? My brain won’t let me. If there’s a number next to the icon, my brain will not calm down until I have read, and responded to if necessary, every single notification. If I was in a situation where I had >500 notifications, the entire day would be spent just reading and responding to every single one. The only way I can avoid it is to never see the notifications at all.

That’s not the only one either, there’s a sequel

So, essentially, there’s a perception in the US that nuclear reactors are always at risk of catastrophic failure and that if this happens, it will be as bad as Chernobyl. Therefore, they oppose anything even remotely related to nuclear power. Of course, this perception has been very intentionally created by the fossil fuel oligarchs.

At this point, it’s been so drilled into the heads of most people here that they just won’t listen to anything you have to say that counters this point of view.

I kept calm for the most part because he is an American teenager.

That’s not much of an excuse. I am a teenager born and living in the US. I am also an ML. Before becoming an ML, I never really thought about ideology, but I was anti-capitalist because I realized before I was even a teenager that the incentive structure of capitalism must lead to misery because it prioritizes capital over everything.

This one is worse than normal though. Most of them just say “Stalin bad” or something. This ingrate decided that they need to disrespect the people who died for them, and that is where I draw the line.

I’m getting angry myself just thinking about how this person must be proud of their utter disrespect for those who have died for them.

This piece of human waste has the audacity to disrespect the 27 MILLION people that died? What kind of disrespectful, ungrateful, arrogant imbecile must this person be to think that’s a good thing to do? I bet they’re proud of their disregard for the sacrifice made for them to be free from the Nazis.

Yes, Capitalism does in fact create innovation, in precisely the wrong direction.
